Yeah, but then how could we make the important months longer than the rest? That would really piss off Julius and Augustus.

Slightly more sensibly, 12 months is easier to synch to the seasons, and calendars are very important to agriculture. 3 months for each season is convenient.

Thirteen also can’t be divided evenly and is widely considered bad luck.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
